SILENT REVENGE
Read what others are saying about this dramatic page-turner
"The settings in Silent Revenge are supremely clear, and some of the scenes are so poignant that I was touched. The Christmas scene is one of the most stirring ones I've ever read. Brought me to tears. Those types of scenes make or break a book, and when I read a passage like that one, I know I'm reading the work of a talented writer. Good authors put us into a scene and force us to live it. Glenda Ivey can do that."

"The soul can be an abyss where pain and suffering flow like rain -- can happiness be found, or will it drown in utter silence? Sarah's inner strength of character forges on through the loss of great love and the wicked hate of her evil mother-in-law. Yes, life is like a rose, a black rose. Careful! You could prick your mind upon a thorn in this wonderfully written tale of revenge..."

Hard To Put Down!
Glenda Ivey has written a most unusual and well written novel about a girl who loses so much and yet is able to not only come out on top, but succeeds in winning the day against her nemesis. I found the book hard to put down and can highly recommend it.

QUOTES BY OTHER READERS
An All-Nighter For Sure!
"I started reading on a whim one evening and then just had to see how it ended. It was so easy to get lost in another time and place with this author. I saw myself in the main character and just had to see if I would admire her or hate her in the end. The story stayed in my mind long after I finished the book, and I caught myself daydreaming about her life for quite a while afterwards. I was definitely impressed." (Arleen, a true Southern Belle, born and bred)
Can't Seem To Put The Book Down!
"You truly feel as though you are in the room with the characters as you read. I've rarely read a book with such detailed scene description. I look forward to the next book by this author." (Shannon Duke)
"SILENT REVENGE is one of the best women's fiction novels I've ever read, and I've read many. The characters are so alive that they stay with you long after you've read the last page. Oh, what a revenge!" (Angela Norris - Great Britain)
Should Be A Movie!
"Got started and couldn't put it down. Marvelous story - Great characters! This book definitely needs to be made into a movie." (Austin Kendall)
This beautifully written book grabs the heartstrings in the first chapter. A young girl is confronted with her dead mother, the only person in her little world. Chapter to chapter, we follow young Sarah as she is rescued by kind people, time and time again, only to lose them in turn. Then comes romance, followed almost inevitably by new tragedy, and half way into the book, we meet the enemy: Sarah's mother-in-law who refuses to acknowledge her.
I won't give away Sarah's revenge. It's original, and very, very fitting. The writing in this book is technically excellent, with lucid, clear prose, vivid description and lively characterization.
Nothing is perfect, and if this book could be improved it's in a few chapters before the satisfying end. The meticulous, vivid style of much of the book was replaced by a more summary treatment for a while. However, despite this, the story is wonderful, and very well told. Glenda Ivey deserves recognition for her fine writing, and I wish her success, both with this book and in the future.

What goes around does indeed come around in this fast paced novel, SILENT REVENGE. Glenda Ivey paints a tale that can span several years in one paragraph without leaving the reader feeling like they have missed something. In a time of depression, war, and misery, this story chronicles a young girl's life through troubled times, loss, andsurvival while she searches for harmony, a love that won't be ripped from her existence, and ultimate justice for the woman who stands in her way.
